About This Game

Fish Odyssey is a web-first roguelite fish prototype: growth-based runs, predator avoidance, mutations, and meta-progression between attempts.

Fish Odyssey (engine repo LukeLit/fish-pwa) is a Next.js / PWA fish-eat-fish roguelite. Pick a fish, dive, eat smaller fish to grow, avoid larger predators, collect mutations for abilities, and earn Essence on death for permanent upgrades. Biomes and AI-generated fish art live in the prototype pipeline. Live playable build: https://fish-pwa.vercel.app. Do not confuse with LukeLit/FishGame (empty stub) or LukeLit/FishOdyssey (empty docs vertical).

Key Features

  • Eat smaller fish to grow larger
  • Avoid larger fish that can eat you
  • Collect mutations for stronger abilities
  • Earn Essence to unlock permanent upgrades
  • Play in browser with keyboard or touch controls

The Hook

EAT. GROW. EVOLVE. CONQUER THE DEPTHS.

  • Hungry Shark–class — arcade fish eat-grow readability (inferred)

      ## Art comps
    
      - Stylized cell-shaded mobile fish (inferred)
    
  • Surreal mutant fish / Spore-adjacent modular (inferred)

  • Palette by essence + Orbitron cyan HUD (verified)
